Wedding Motif in 2011

It's November and soon we will approach Year 2011 ...

I'm excited because 2011 definitely will be a blast for my business because now I am claiming by faith that God will be providing me with repeat and new clients not just in coordination and hosting services but definitely in other services that I've offered this year like bubble machine, photobooth rental, missalette etc.

Just to keep everyone updated - wedding motif in 2011 is going to be BRIGHT. I guess it's sort of a carry over of 2010's wedding motif which ranges from deep red, teal, violet, turquoise, platinum, yellow , sage and fuschia.

And 2011 will give more couple more choices because it is tropical, fun, whimsical and bright - definitely amazing in all its aspect.

Colors that would dominate 2011 would surely include Apple green, mauve, lilac, hot pink, slate grey, celadon, aged gold, coral, red, violet purple, mocha / chocolate / brown, navy, emerald / pine green / dark cyan, clementine orange, and yellow.

But those are just based from artist's researches and personal opinion. Wedding Motif should reflect your personality as a couple. So if you want your motif to be black that would be pretty cool, too! There's no golden rule for wedding motif - just follow your heart and everything will fall into its place.

The most important thing in a wedding is not just the motif but a couple's love and commitment to each other.

Best,
Cel

My favorite WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

Some photographer suppliers can be pain in the *ss for coordinators ( I know one team whom I will never ever recommend to my couples - they said they are REAL but I don't think they are really REAL hehehe).  But I would say majority are fun to work with and are great company.

I've worked with the best, coolest and super down to earth photographers and so far have chosen my favorites - so the following are the my favorite photographers ...

 

Of course, top of my list is none other than the super down to earth and cool lawyer and wedding photographer - Sir Archie or Atty. Fortun .... walang tatalo sa kakwelahan at super bait... enjoyed every moment working with him...

 Next in my list of course would Nice Print's Best - Bernie and Rupert (included is Harlyn of CVJ Catering).  I love their shots and they are such a great company.  Nakakasawa na nga kasi we've worked with them most of the time, hehehe, but it's always a blessing to see how they work and how passionate they are taking every shots in the event.

Of course, si Kuya Zandro of Smart Shots - simple lang pero galing ng mga shots - one of the best!  In fact  I always tell him his shots are at par or sometimes mas maganda pa kay ****... hehehe that's our secret.  He's always the ever reliable, simple but cool Kuya Zandro.  I also love the works of Archie and his work ethics (too bad I can't find our pictures together hehehe)

Another favorite is Sir Richard of Treasured Memories, matipuno, super down to earth din and walang arte talaga.

Another favorite photographer of mine is Sir Danny Ignacio of Vignette Photography - yun nga lang can't find our pictures din but I love his works and of course how he handles his team and how he deals with the rest of the suppliers - galing!

Of course, isama na rin natin ang aking events assistant (groom's assistant/photographer) na si Mike, very consistent in getting pictures during our wedding - thanks Mike! - kulang na lang sa yo is DSLR and pwede na ...

These are the guys I often recommend to my clients - not because they are the best in their field but because they are easy to work with, has a lot of passion with what they do and are such a great company!

Best,

Cel

Who is my bodyguard during my client meeting?

Aside from my father who usually accompanies me during my client meeting and Bullet (name of my car) who's been my reliable transport service, I also have a bodyguard who accompanies me and he is a little adorable and sweet boy who would patiently play at the mall's playground or kiddie playhouse or would just wait at the car until he falls asleep and would always tell me "sama ako work mama tapos bili ako toys" and then he would also say "jesus, thank you sa work ni mama para marami siya pera at marami ako toys" ... amusing and adorable.

So, who is my little bodyguard?  Of course, no other than my son who has always been supportive of what I do - GABRIEL.

I'd like him to see what I usually do so that when he grows up he would have the mindset of an entrepreneur-business minded person.  During client meeting I'd buy him toys that are not expensive and would reiterate to him that it is his prize for being a good boy and would tell him that if he likes the expensive one we need to save for it which he would readily agrees.

As a proud mother, I'd like to share the many pictures we've had where he accompanied me during my client meetings ...

 At SM Centerpoint

 

Gab at Robinson's Place Manila

 

Gab at Gateway Mall

 Gab at Alabang Town Center

So there ... Praying for more client meetings with Gab and hopefully in the future he'll be joining not just my bodyguard but one of my events assistant.

Toy Story Theme: 4th Birthday Celebration of Gab

For mother's like me (and a coordinator/planner on the sideline), it's always an enjoyable moment to prepare your kid's birthday celebration.

During Gab's 1st birthday Celebration and Christening the theme was SESAME STREET as during that time his favorite was Elmo, Big Bert and Ernie and Cookie Monster.  The celebration took place at the National Federation Women's Club Function Hall.

On his 2nd birthday the theme was Narnia - which we just celebrated in our Sampaloc Residence.  We rented kiddie chairs and tables and while they were enjoying the food, they all watched the Chronicles of Narnia:  The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Gab's 3rd birthday doesn't have any animation/cartoon type of theme but I just dubbed it potluck food fiesta
as Gab celebrated his birthday together with his Tita Ryza and Tito Brian's Birthday.  Overflowing food as relatives and family members brought each of their share to make the 3 celebration extravagant hehehe.

Well this time, Gab's 4th birthday celebration is back with a theme - TOY STORY.  Just a simple celebration for family and relatives and then I just brought polvoron from Goldilocks that has the Toy Story theme and coloring books to give to my nephews and nieces and they all enjoyed it.

It doesn't have to be an extravagant celebration what matters is that Gab is enjoying that moment, he is enjoying his birthday celebration.

Although next year, I'm thinking of a big celebration for his birthday (sort of including our next baby's christening as well).  With God's grace I hope it will be come true since Gab will be turning 5 next year.

Your Events at Wedding Expo - September 25 and 26 (SMX Convention)

I always enjoyed joining Theme's N' Motif's Bridal Fair.  I believe they are one of the most reliable, trustworthy and organized bridal fair organizer in the country.  Based on past history, I'd get 40% of my clients from them (40% referral from previous clients and 20% from online clients c/o Multiply, Sulit etc.)  They'd really invest in marketing and promotions (not just billboards and print ads but even in social networking sites, unlike other bridal fairs).

And since there were so many guests/couple-delegates that day, I didn't get the chance to take a picture of all clients who booked me but I had some here to show you guys... enjoy!

We'll be joining again in the March Bridal Fair, so hope to see everyone again!

Your Events Team is a HAPPY TEAM

Some would say that coordinators are the most stressed supplier on the event day - i would say yes, because aside from the couple and the guests, we practically take care of the rest of the suppliers as well.

Tiring and stressful it maybe but we are enjoying every moment that we are in an event ... we live by our motto "WE ARE TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED ..."

Your Events is a Happy Team, every event is a blessing. Instead of thinking of the stress, we think of the countless blessings that God gives us.

After every event, we chillax! We chill and relax ...

Eric and Michelle_2.14.2010

Meet one of my favorite couples ... Eric and Michelle

Michelle was super cool, super down to earth and super transparent. I'd like to say during the wedding preps (she got my full coordination service) we became good friends - from her deepest sentiments, to her natural and usual character and fun times - she all shared it with me and our team. Sobrang kalog! What you see is what you get. A very rare woman exuding a very passionate and simple personality. 

Eric naman is very soft spoken, he is around 6feet tall but he's got a child-like attitude, very patient and compassionate heart (i'm sure those were just some of the characteristics that Michelle loved in Eric).  Their personalities were totally different but I guess that's what makes them click - the best of both worlds...

I will surely miss both of them. It was such a privilege working as their coordinators, it was an honor to develop a special friendship with this beautiful couple

To Michelle and Eric, thank you for all the kind words, for the gifts and for the opportunity that you gave my team to be part of your wedding day. 

- She was my best buddy during my wedding preparation. Sometimes my conflict schedule namen para mag meet pro d naman nya kasalanan, so more on fone call kme. Nag aabono din sya s ibang expenses pag may kailangan bilhin at hindi ko p ma transfer money s kanya. I will miss her cuz she's been a friend to me during my stressful days. :-)  (from imichelleandmyself.blogspot.com)-

A tribute to my nephew TRISTAN, a baby and an angel forever in our hearts

August 5- a special day to remember my nephew Tristan.  Our Father took him last August 5, 2007 - such a painful day because he joined God's glory 3 days before Gab celebrated his 1st year birthday; Tristan then, was only 9 months old.

I remember Tristan as a very strong baby - you can feel that he is really fighting despite him being diagnosed with brain tumor.  I would say he's like a soldier, a very strong soldier fighting the battle of his lifetime.  We were filled with so much hope that he'd make it but I guess, our Good Lord has better plans for him and for us.  It was a painful experience but it made us strong, bonded and whole as a family.  The experience made us realize that yes, God is a miracle-working God and HE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR US.

It's been 3 years since ... I would still the pain whenever I see his pictures or pass by UST or PGH where he's been diagnosed most of the time but I would also smile and look at the sky because I know Tristan is safe with our Father - he's now angel - a baby angel forever.

We love you Tristan and we are proud how you fought the battle - you are a warrior! you are God's true soldier!

My prayer: " Father, thank you for being a father to Tristan all these years.  Truly, he remains a baby in our hearts - an angel and a baby forever."


Best,
Tita Cel
